Television may drive kids to distraction
by Dementia at 11:03 am EDT, Apr 5, 2004

] Watching television at a very early age could lead to
] concentration problems later in childhood, according to a
] new study led by Seattle researchers published today in
] the journal Pediatrics.
]
] For every hour of television viewed per day before age 3,
] children were 10 percent more likely to have trouble
] paying attention by age 7, researchers said. A child
] younger than 3, for example, who watched two hours of
] television a day was 20 percent more likely to have
] attention problems at age 7 than a child who never
] watched television.

And I'm only seeing the problem escalate with future generations. I know it wasn't the greatest flick, but a Johnny Mnemonic scenario comes to mind.
